This blog is dedicated to recording the thoughts of a little pug named Winston, the Grand Duke of Pugsworth, as he struggles through a pampered existence.

Be Careful what you wish forSo, Mommy has always told us that we could not get another pug becuase it would be too expensive, but if we could find a free pug with all its shots then we could have it. Enter Gorby. Gorby is a half brother of mine whose Mommy thinks that she does not spend nearly enough time with him. My parents don't know what to do!!! They want another puggy, but are not sure if they are ready for one. Anyways, Gorby is coming over this Friday for a week to see how the two of us get along. Worst case scenerio, my parents are taking us both to the pug meetup and hopefully someone will want to take him if things don't work out here.

This is Gorby down by the water.

This is him in the snow.

This is him....I don't know what this is, medical waste or something. His Mommy says that he was already getting "fluffy" so he's already been put on a diet, despite being a month younger than me. Any ideas on what to do????

Gorby is so CUTE! My mummy struggled with the same question - to get a second puggy or to not get a second puggy. She was even given one for free - but declined after she saw how me(Aine) and the new doggy were together. I favored a new puppy to boss around instead of someone that was older than me. So hopefully Gobey and you will work out.

My mummy thinks she will get another puggy when I am a bit older and trained up better. However, it is a lot of work to have two animals of anything. Also my mummy is a widow - she always wonders god forbid a fire breaks out or something - how can she wrangle two puggies. So with that being said - I think I will be an only puggy for a bit. good luck in your decision - Aine.

Note to parents: Two pugs are better. Plus, it's good to get another while Mr. Pugsworth is still young, since after a few years my winston just seems annoyed with other pugs dogs. Then again, he didn't have pug meetups. To Winston: Good luck with your new brother, Winston! I'll bet your parents end up keeping Gorby!

Winston, this is great! Gorby is adorable and you would have so much fun having someone to play with. I seriously think 2 pugs is easier than one because they entertain each other. Nappy and Maggie play non-stop. It actually helped with Nappy's weight also.

Good luck, I know once you meet Gorby there is no way you won't be able to keep him.

We think Gorby is adorable. Your Mommy & Daddy should definitely step up and adopt him. Two Pugs mean twice the fun. And also, your parents won't have to feel guilty about leaving you home alone, cuz you will have a permanent playmate. We think it would be a win-win for everybody!

Hey Winston, we're not sure if we are going to make it to the meetup this weekend. Dad wants to clean out the basement so he can have a garage sale, but we are still trying to get him to change his mind. He is pretty soft, so we think we will be able to do it!

What a cutiepie. Yes, bring him home, although you must realize that you will have to share your toys, treats, and time with mommy and daddy with him. BUT, like everyone has already said, you'll always have a playmate! I say try it out and see how it goes :)

Welcome to My Blog- Now Submit to My Tyrannical Rule

On Pugs:

In the whole catalogue of the canine species, there is not one of less utility, or possessing less the powers of attraction than the Pug Dog, applicable to no sport, appropriate to no useful purpose, susceptible of no predominant passion, and in no way whatever remarkable for any extra eminence, he has continued from era to era for what alone he might have been originally intended, the patient follower of a ruminating philosopher, or the adulating and consolatory companion of an old maid.

The Story of the Grand Duke of Pugsworth

I'm a pug puppy that was born on July 8, 2006. I have a face that entitles me to get away with murder and, if all goes according to plan, I shall be able to freely manipulate my Humans as soon as they are properly trained. I foresee a pampered existence for myself, and will do whatever is necessary to see that it comes to be. Now (getting into character) I shall transform myself into an innocent dumb angel...and the Humans will be none the wiser. P.S.- I LOVE COMPLIMENTS! Feel free to leave me a message.

The story of the stray my parents brought home one day, aka "Cosette Colbert d'Bonapug"

Cosette is my little sister, born March 3, 2008. I am not sure how exactly my parents found her, but I am guessing that while they were out playing without me one day, they saw her wandering around and, in a momentary lapse of judgment, decided to bring her home. [Parents' Note: Cosette was not a stray, as much as we admire people who adopt pets who are or were strays, or from shelters, we got Cosette from a wonderful breeder and know that from the minute she was born, she has been nothing but pampered.] I guess she's not really so horrible, we play a lot but she also likes to sleep almost as much as I do, and she is even more snuggly than me, if you can imagine that. Unlike me, she is a social butterfly and loves to play with any other dog, person, or stuffie she sees, although, she is terrified of cats. She seems to be stuck in permanent puppy-hood and is the source of constant amusement for me and my parents.
